Does the silk filled duvet filler get fluffy like the feather duvets

No I would say it doesn't. It's more dense. One nice thing is that it is silent when you move around. My down comforter was "noisy" in comparison. I love it. Also new silk filling can have a "fishy" smell that should go away after a few days.

The silk-filled comforter has some loft, but not like feather or down. It's been a great alternative though.

Each comforter has 150 grams of silk filling. Mulberry West sews in a small zipper so you can see, and feel, for yourself the difference certified silk filling makes.

My guess is that it weighs 7 to 10 pounds, which, when spread over the area of the queen size bed, is very light on a per square foot basis. It does not press me into the bed, and most important to me, does not press too heavily on my feet. A nice thing about the silk filling is that the fibers reflect body heat, but still allow air circulation. I am comfortable with my silk duvet in all seasons, especially winter.

Yes. I put it over a feather comforter that was losing feathers (to keep the feathers in) & then put the duvet over it.

No it does not unfortunately. If you have a down feather duvet it is very slippery!

Hi Brandy, yes I really like my duvet. It feels nice and is lightweight. Because it's lightweight you can see the pillows of the comforter.. I don't mind that. It washes great. One thing to know is it doesn't come with the shams.. I didn't realize that when I looked at the price. You can get the matching shams.. they are around $35 each I think -> yowza!

Mine started out quite fluffy. I have had it about six months. It still is comfortable, but I wonder if some shells have broken into smaller pieces. There is more space in the pillow.

I have not seen or felt one feather poking through! I love this comforter, it is however VERY warm. We keep our room cool at night (~60 degrees) and I have felt too hot at times. Great deal for the money.

No it [wool] does not, but to eliminate this possibility, we use a duvet cover.

I washed mine twice and I have only seen one or two rogue feathers. However, I am going to purchase a duvet cover once I find one I like. A cover will keep the feathers nice and secure.

Definitely. I have feather pillows and the only thing different I have to do is occasionally unzip the cover and fluff up the pillow since the air gets gradually pushed out over time.

I've never used a wool comforter so I can't compare to that, but I did get rid of a down one after getting my first silk comforter. Down is way too hot and smothering for me. Silk breathes wonderfully. I just got this one in fall to replace my old (different brand) one which fell apart after 15 years of constant use. Like the last one, this will be in use year round, adding or subtracting a blanket depending on the season.

You need a thicker type cover on real down/feather comforters to keep the feathers from poking through. Polyester is usually preferred on cheaper ones. It can be noisy, but comforters are supposed to be placed inside a duvet which muffles the sound and keeps them cleaner. Machine wash, do not dry clean as the chemicals will damage the feathers/down.

Yes, As a matter of fact, I just washed it in my normal size washing machine and it came out great. I then threw a few tennis balls in the dryer to help keep the filling distributed evenly while drying it and it is just as fluffy as when I first opened it up in it's original packaging. I hope this helps.BTW my extra large dogs lay on it and love it as well! :>)

No, it's just a duvet cover, and a nice one. I remember because I don't buy the ones with filling.

There is no fill - it is a duvet which is a cover for your comforter. But the duvet is 100% cotton and washable. Yes, it comes with three small pillows.

It's a fiber fill (like polyfil that goes into stuffed animals but better) and it mimics the abilities of the feathers. Some people may be allergic so the alternative is nice. I am not allergic but I love this blanket. It has been great to keep me warm enough without keeping my husband overheated. Great purchase, great price.
